1 c Lentils
4 c Vegetable broth or water
1 Bay leaf
3 tb Margarine
1 lg Onion, chopped
Salt & pepper
1 c Coarsely ground bulgur

Rinse the lentils & put in a pot with enough broth to cover. Add bay leaf,
bring to a boil & keep covered. Turn off heat & let stand for 30 minutes.

While the lentils are soaking, melt margarine in a heavy pot. Add chopped

heat again, cover tightly & simmer till all the liquid has been absorbed.
Add more liquid till the bulgur & lentils are cooked. Remove bay leaf &
